Property Description
Kips Cottage is a rustic former bothy, with very few mod cons, other than amazing views and copious hot water. If you love going back in time and feeling like you are living on the edge of the world, it will be perfect for you. If you are looking for something even vaguely modern, Kips Cottage may not suit.
The cottage is situated in a stunning location just off the North Coast 500 in Sutherland. The cottage looks over the North Atlantic and is surrounded by hillside with fantastic views of the changing coastal scenery.
There is a spacious living area with 2 large sofas, a pine dining table and a wood-burning stove at one end. A charming double bedroom is accessed from the other end of the living space. Also on the ground floor is a basic kitchen, slightly like being on a boat, with a kitchen table and French doors out onto the decked area outside. The kitchen has an electric oven and a butler’s sink. Situated off the kitchen is a charmingly ramshackle bathroom with bath and basin and lavatory.
There is plenty of parking and a garden to explore.
Let Saturday to Saturday June, July & August. Other changeover days OK in other months.

A week away
We were looking to disconnect from the worries of the world, to slow down our lives, and to still our hearts and minds. The cottage was the perfect place for this, and was exactly as advertised. We took a daily hike/walk at different nearby beaches, parks, or forests. We mostly prepared our own food (2 meals in Bettyhill), and we reveled in the quiet.

Had a lovely time
Peaceful, quiet. no cars, airplanes. Just the birds, sheep, sound of the wind, and the surf of the Ocean. I went for hikes and slept fantastically each night. This is a place to relax and get away from the crowds. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Kips Cottage.
A property with age and character and with views of Scotlands rugged coastline and mountainous interior. Superb.
The cottage was a welcome sight after a excellent day out.

A little piece of heaven on earth
As always the cottage was like coming home. Thr location is stunning, so peaceful. The cottage is quirky ..so if your expecting glamour, then this cottage is not for you.
We will definitely return.

Lovely location, but.....
Fantastic location, could be a little gem however cleanliness was an issue.
Major cobweb problem, 3 piece suite needs replaced, arms on chairs ripped with stuffing falling out, throws on the suite need cleaned.
Mouldy curtains in bathroom.
We were expecting basic but also expected place to be clean.
Bed and bedding were clean and comfortable.
Only stayed 3 nights out of 7 due cleanliness of the place.
Tried to contact the number given in case of problems a couple of times but no answer or answering machine.
It's a shame it could be a brilliant holiday let with some TLC.
